I’ve lived in Silicon Valley most of my life and, while I’ve been to the HP Garage several times, I’ve never gotten to actually visit it. HP was gracious enough to open the garage for me and a few of my friends who have added me as a Facebook friend and we visit the garage where Anna Mancini, HP’s Corporate Archivist, gives us a talk about the role this little garage played in the tech industry’s development.
